If you had a hiatal hernia repair at same time of your sleeve it could be your diaphragm being irritated. I have a few min of hiccups with meals sometimes especially if I eat too fast.

I am a surgical nurse and have never seen a sleeve and a hysterectomy at the same time. That is a lot of surgery at same time. Is your surgeon doing both procedures or is another surgeon doing the hysterectomy?

I was out of it day of surgery only. You get really tired week one. Start feeling better week 2. Back to normal energy week 3-4.

First post op visit down 30 lbs since preop diet. They are telling me to take in more calories. This Friday is I can add eggs!

I am a director of surgery and we have done this procedure multiple times. It's very successful. You need a donor who does not live with you. Typically housemates share the same flora. You blend it in a blender and place it at various levels of the colon. It's very effective.

First day of full liquids Milk here we go!

Matt I was sleeved the same day. My stomach woke up about 5 days later and is making some interesting sounds. As long as you have no pain odd noises seem to be common.

It was just desk work. Luckily I gave a flexible job

Feeling much better today. Worked for 4 hours today but was exhausted. Sipping is so much easier. Thanks for all the advice and support it makes a huge difference!

Home, pains meds must have wore off cause chest pain really painful. Trying to keep up with sipping

Surgery done. Barium swallow good. Spending the night. Feeling weak but optimistic

Surgery in am!

Day three of no carb preop diet Feeling crappy bad headache and cloudy head

Starting preop diet tomorrow I am very excited

Starting preop diet tomorrow I am very excited

Congrats way to go!

I can see the difference in both of you Keep it up

Fantastic Congrats

My name is Chris and I am an 42 year old male who has battled weight as long as I can remember. As I have aged my weight has really slowed me down. I am just at that point of being pissed for allowing this to hold me back for so long. I have been aware of these procedures for years as I am an operating room nurse. Maybe ignorance is bliss when it comes to surgery. I am having my sleeve on April 17. I am very excited and honestly fearful of this journey but it is one I have to do. I am blessed to be having surgery in an operating room I run and at a hospital of friends. It is great reading the stories of others and not feeling so alone in this issue.
